I'm reading about all these flyovers, Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, A-10s, F-16s, B-2s, and more. Well, after our flyover today I feel like a guy who's friends go to the beach without me and come back to tell me about all the thin beautiful girls there. But when I go to the beach all I see is a solo fat C-17.

Sort of Ron but their route skips entire Eastern Shore except Salisbury,Easton.
Seems route designed by Maryland Democrat party over their spots
I mean M+T Stadium and Pimlico? Nobody there this time of year.. Booo.
Timing also sets up a rainy day flyover.. DOH!!

Yes the weather - which is supposed to turn increasingly ugly as the day wears on into the evening - might be an issue, but we'll see...Mike

C-17 Pitt 40 is at DOV again tonite. Seems he's been there for a couple of days. Wonder if he's undergoing some sort of maintenance/upgrade that they test out after they finish?

Rare catch C-146A #16-3025 (AE68C0) off of BWI around 2000 heading southwest. Didn't catch any callsign.
